http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=23674Have you heard that song Your Body is a Wonderland by John Mayer? Whatever you think of that song, I love the way he describes lovemaking. He talks about his lovely woman's skin, lips, hair, and shape. He's into all of her.
But thousands of years before Mayer penned his lyrics, the Lover in the Song of Songs described his Beloved's "wonderland." Three different times, the husband goes into detail about the beauty of his wife's body, including this passage:
Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of a craftsman's hands.
Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies.
Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon looking toward Damascus.
Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.
Your hair is like royal tapestry; the king is held captive by its tresses.
How beautiful you are and how pleasing, O love, with your delights!
Take time to find pleasure in all of your wife's gorgeous form on this first night.
